"A great way to spend an evening for all ages. Steve covered all the basics inc the health and safety elements, then let us get going with our imaginations running wild!

Kieran Kelly reviewed: Four day intensive beginners woodwork course

"I completed the 4 days beginners' course a few weeks ago and enjoyed every minute of it. It was great to learn how to do a lot of new things regarding woodworking and just as great to learn how to do properly those things I have tried before! The teaching was excellent; Ciaran explained very clearly and was always on hand to lend help when needed. To be able to go home at the end of the course with an item of furniture of which I could be proud was fantastic. I am certain that everyone on the course not only benefitted from what we all learned but also enjoyed immensely the conviviality of the four days. Thanks, Ciaran; I look forward to doing a few more jobs and then taking on the intermediate course. Kieran"

Sue Platt reviewed: Felt Making Workshops - Stratford upon Avon

"Three friends and I booked a day workshop as a surprise for a 50th birthday, and we all had a wonderful time not just the birthday girl! Lesley's tuition was just amazing and she was so patient with those of us who were perhaps not so artistically gifted...gave us such confidence! We all found it incredible how you can change strands of wool into a beautiful piece of felt and then a notebook cover....Lesley was very generous both with her materials and her time, and gave us the materials to try bead making at home when we had run out of time to do it at the workshop...we're looking forwards to being creative together again soon! Thanks too to Carl for making us lovely coffee and collecting the lunch and to Lesley for the delicious cake! (We also enjoyed meeting your gorgeous dogs....so well behaved!) We would all thoroughly recommend this course."

Gill Edwards reviewed: Introduction to candle-making as a business

"I booked this course as an introduction to candle making, having considered setting up my own business. The course was perfect! Jo was very generous Sharing her expertise and tips including suppliers, legal requirements and of course, the art of candle making. The day was very enjoyable, a beautiful venue, and myself and my fellow course attendees were made to feel very welcome and at home. It felt as though I were spending a fun day with friends. The candles we made were beautiful, and I left feeling enthused and keen to make more. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this course, whether it be for fun and to learn a new skill, or to help with the finer points relating to the making of candles to sell. Gill"
